I would encourage you to check your Anode rod if you have one. Unfortunately when we bought our brand new 2020 Montana the dealer said absolutely nothing about the existence of the rod, much less the need to check the rod's condition as a part of yearly maintenance.

We were having issues with the electric side of our water heater. A friend suggested I check the anode rod ( I gave them a quizzical look). When I did I found the anode rod to be almost completely disintegrated. While I don't think this explains the water heater issue, it certainly does explain the crap in our water lines that were clogging up our kitchen faucet.
